Pilgrim Clothing What Pilgrims did to make Clothes
Most pilgrims didn’t buy there clothes they made them. They planted flax to make the linen thread. To color the clothes the children (mostly boys) went to gather all sorts of berries and fruits to make die. The die was boiled in the biggest pot in the house. The girls helped to, they learned to spin a wheel when they were six. Little girls learned to knit as soon as they could hold a pair of knitting needles. Everyday was the time for making clothes-there was no special day for making clothes. The pilgrims worked all day on making clothes, for example the boys took the sheep out to the fields and weaved while watching them. How they wore their hair

About pilgrim boy clothing
Pilgrim boys almost wore as much clothes as the girls did. In fact boys and girls wore dresses until the age of six. When boys started wearing breeches, or knee length pants, they still had to wear stockings, garters, and a doublet. A doublet is a short jacket. Back then they didn’t have belts; to keep the boys pants up they tied the pants to his doublet, with small laces called points.
